Artifact Overview
Engineers at Ford's Highland Park plant had fine-tuned the moving assembly line. With this experience in hand, Ford created the "B" Building at its new River Rouge complex with extensive conveyer systems to accommodate the flow of parts and assembly processes. These Mercury automobiles are nearing the end of final assembly. Soon, they will be packed and shipped to local dealers.
